Going to be interesting to see who the Celtics play in these final 4 games. I personally would play normal starter minutes for the Bucks and Knicks games and limit the minutes the last 2 games, but I could see it going another way.

Meaningless games for the C's. I'd play White and Jrue... JB, JT and KP can rest... Maybe play the 3 of them a bit against the Knicks, rest them next game and give em like 20 mins or whatever in the last game to get them in rhythm
Good assessment:

Here it is four games left in the season. The Celtics are playing the Bucks and there's a G league game going on at the same time that's a lot more interesting. What would you have thought if someone told you this would happen?

I would leave the big 6 home. This game is important to Bucks. They will play hard. Any injury to the big 6 would be devastating at this point.

If I'm remembering the rule correctly, you can't rest more than one "star" in the same nationally televised game. (with a star being an allstar or all nba player basically.)

This is on TNT so I think at least one Jay is supposed to play. Or I guess you could make up actual some injuries that are holding them out and see if that flies. Or just rest em and take the fine.

We'll likely continue to see the rotation of starters sitting ...was dwite then JB, then Tatum. Should be Ktaps turn next, maybe Holiday as well. Jrue is tooo triGGered by Bucks ha ha so maybe save him from himself, make him sit

They’re sending Tatum. And just Tatum based on the pic by socmed acct.

For the Bucks, Giannis is QUESTIONABLE, Beauchamp is OUT, Middleton and PatBev are PROBABLE.

Watching the Bucks and their mentally ill fanbase meltdown in real time is so heart-warming. They are so screwed moving forward with no assets and those albatross contracts of Dame and Middleton. It's just a matter of time before the glorified fullback asks out :lol:

Lol. If i’m giannis, i’m **** playing. 4 game losing streak, possibly 5, with a few games to go? Doc doesn’t have the luxury of mind games. The whole bucks starters should play all the games remaining. There are still some playin games to be played to have additional rest. With that said, i still would want us to beat the bucks badly. Blow them out early, and rest the guys in the 4th. I’d rest porzingis, if giannis ain’t playing.

Play everyone, it’s been too long since the Cs have won by 50.

Hauser shoots well close to home, so get him a dozen or more 3s.
Paul Pierce appreciation society.
